CAV-2 vector-transduced human neurospheres transcriptome profiles

ABSTRACT: Brain gene transfer using viral vectors will likely become a therapeutic option for several disorders. Helper-dependent (HD) canine adenovirus type 2 vectors (CAV-2) are well suited for this goal. Indeed, these vectors are poorly immunogenic, efficiently transduce neurons, are retrogradely transported to afferent structures in the brain, and lead to long-term transgene expression. CAV-2 vectors have been exploited to unravel behavior, cognition, neural networks, axonal transport and therapy for orphan diseases. Here we describe the HD-CAV-2 vector induced transcriptional response of human dopaminergic neurospheres derived from midbrain progenitors. In this 3D model system, brain cell functions and dynamics mimic several aspects the dynamic nature of human brain. With the goal of better understanding and characterizing HD CAV-2 for brain therapy, we analyzed the transcriptomic modulation induced by HD-CAV-2 in this brain model system. We found that dopaminergic neurospheres are readily transduced by HD-CAV-2, and that transduction generates two main responses: a DNA damage response, and alteration of centromeric and microtubule probes. We suggest that the first effect is linked to viral DNA, while the second would be related to the interaction of the HD-CAV-2 fibre with CAR.

Project description:Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease primarily associated with impaired movement affecting elderly people. To improve the understanding of the pathogenesis and to develop new therapies, we have developed a non-human primate model of PD using the lemurian Microcebus murinus (Mim). In this study, we tested the potential of canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) as vector for gene transfer in the Mim brain by analyzing the gene expression changes in three regions involved in motor control: striatum, frontal cortex and midbrain. The CAV-2 viruses were injected in the right striatum of young adult females, 2 years old. CAV-2 vectors preferentially transduce neurons in the primate brain and were carried by axonal transport to afferent structures in both hemispheres. The gene expression changes were analyzed at 2 critical times after infection by CAV-2: an acute time effect at 24h and a delayed time effect at 28 days post infection. In addition, the gene expression was compared in the ipsilateral side versus the contralateral side, and with a non-infected brain samples using human Affymetrix microarrays. The transcriptomic data were analyzed by Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) to identify genes differentially expressed when comparing brain samples in the 3 conditions. The data were also analyzed by ANOVA one way and by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results have shown that the transduction of CAV2 in neurons induced specific changes. These changes differed during the immediate and the long-term-point. Gene expression changes were detected in transcriptional regulation, in synaptic transmission, in cellular trafficking and in immune response. More precisely, in the short term, CAV2 activated genes involved in a non-specific innate immune response. In the long term, CAV2 induced an adaptive tolerant immune response.
